For this challenge, I am posting a photo of Red Knots in flight over the Delaware Bay. These birds migrate every year from Artic areas to Tierra del Fuego at the tip of South America, a distance of 9,300 miles and one of the longest migratory paths of any bird.

We have the same red knots here on Kiawah. They typically arrive en masse in late spring and leave us after a week or two. They are truly amazing and definitely a great example of endurance!

They are probably the same ones that come to New Jersey, and Kiawah is one of their stops during their migration. Thank you for visiting, Tina!
